This invention also consists in certain s intended funcother features of construction and inthe combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter trated in the vaccompanying drawings and specifically pointed outl in claims. l

In describing our invention in detail, ref-- erence will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like charactersy denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view taken through the bearing which forms the subject matter of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view.y K

Figure 3 is asectional view taken on line, 3,3 of Figure 2. y Q

Figure 41 is a fragmentary sideelevation of the locking shim Ywhich forms apart of the invention..

Referring to the drawings in detail the letter A' indicates a fragmentary portion of a connecting rod of an internal combustion engine and which is provided with the usual semi-circular recess to accommodate the upper half of the lining B which is formed of Babbitt metal or the like.

IThe cap for the connecting rod forms our invention and includes a lierf: to accommodate a screw driver and a openair-ima lat as Clearly Sleeve iii Elgar@ recessed as 'at 10 and P.Each partofl'tlie erally for the purpose of taking' up end play Y fully described illus#V bolts 7 a pair of the appended ing one or botli the oppositely disposed apertured eais 1 and 2 which are se-` th@ like. aad. its @preste ad sfiafavidrl 1i' 'which ian 'S'fla Gatter iai-.lifter Securing: the 120111 iii adiiisted pesiteaaiid slot t-"Q: rieten@ tl albumi; s there@ 21S-Will be sedili/'errate f iii's1rro`y1id with itliegueuail sanitaire 1 laodate, that liever halt ofithlliils 91 Wiih 2 is'nliiiedn two .parts each' of: itliicliiias its enr ld farmed with 'riiositd'r .inclined contrasting diae'ohaly. diseased edsesll'aill- 12.5"' s i f lining 9 'is movable latF in the crank shaft and to accomplish this purpose there are threadedly secured tothe Vnuts 13 and 14 which have disks 15 formed on their confronting faces,

projecting through arecess 16 formed in the cap and these disks engage the adjacent part of thel lining for moving the same laterally through the instrumentality of the nuts as will be obvious. Locking shims 17 are pron the/ critter .pin isi @Haasse in vided for retaining the nuts and the disks thereof in adjusted position 1S offsaid locking shims are adapted to be bent at' right angles to the body vportion thereof for engaging the flat sides of the nuts as suggested in Figure 1 of the drawings.

From theabove description and disclosure of :the drawings,ity will be obvious that'we 'have provided an adjustable bearing for compensating wear and endwise movement, and the adjustment is accomplished by mov- 4 of the nuts 13and 14 in outward directions, and the disks thereof will move the parts of the lining 9 accordingly. y i

lt is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of our invention will be readily apparent.

:Wedesire it to be understood that we may make changes in the constructionV and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that suchV changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

and the tonguesV Y Having described the inventionwhat is*V claimed is 1. In a bearing, a cap, depending portions formed on said cap and being provided withl threaded openings,` a sectional lining arranged in said cap, a bolt threadedly mount ed in said threaded openings, a pair ol nuts on said bolt, and means formed with said nuts and engageahle with the sections el the lining' for laterally adjustingl the same.`

9. 1n a bearing, a rap, a seetimial liningarranged in said Cap-` portions depending from said rap and being provided with aligned threaded openings, a holt threadedly mounted in said openings, nuts carried by said bolt7 a disk formed on each bolt and passing into recesses :formed in the sections of the liningior engagement with the latter for moving the same laterally, and means :for retaining the nuts in adjusted positions.

3. In a hearing, a cap, portions depending from said cap and beingprovided with aligned threaded openings, a holt arranged .in said openings, rnitsearriei'l hy said bolt, a two part liningr arranged in said rap1 und each partbeing provided with a semi-(tireu-v la'r recess, disks formed with said nuts and disposed in said recesses tor engagement with the parts `.for inoif'ing the latter laterally and shims :surrounding the bolts and nuts on said boltydisks formed on the eoni fronting faces of said .nuts vand passing through a recess ,termed in the cap and arranged in the recesses ot' the parts ot the 1in-- ing for eng-agement therewith, for moving the same laterally, and locking means ai*- ranged on said holt and ongageable with the nuts for retainingl the saine in adjusted po sitions.
